Stirlingfaulds Place off Cumberland St , Mitchellhill in Castlemilk ( three blocks out of the five are being emptied) and Dalmarnock , the last two buildings.
I dont have any time scales so I would suggest that you watch the press.
Having said all that it will not be this year, I am positive of that.
Anyone interested in photos of the blowing up of the Queen Elizabeth flats in Gorbals and the two at Dalmarnock?

I would require some-one with some nouse & clout on the site to contact me to arrange provision of these details.
I also have some pics of that would be of interest to the site too (regarding many other matters....but need some one to accept/post them)
Cheers!

240 Roystonhill was demolished on either Sunday 21st June or
Sunday 28th June 1992 - I lived quite close to it at the time and
watched it from my bedroom window Quite spectacular, seeing
a 24-storey eyesore come tumbling down.
Coll Place - dunno when, but I'd say it was at least a year later. I dont
recall much of a media song and dance about Coll Place, whereas with
240 Roystonhill the meeja were swarming all over the gaff. Might have
been one of the first such demolitions in Glasgow?
